If the Insurance Companies don't want a Public Option out there, all they'd have to do is eliminate their insane restrictions, cover everybody equally and with no prior condition exclusions and lower their prices. If they all did that, we wouldn't be talking about any kind of reform. Sadly, there's virtually no such thing as a good corporate citizen in this industry. It's true of most things...it's the irresponsibility and greed of the corporations that have made government intervention necessary. In a perfect world, I'd be an anarchist, but that isn't possible.
And I'm also for Tort Reform to lower the cost of malpractice coverage for you docs. It's kinda sad to note that trial lawyers are the biggest lobby in DC, though, and every attempt at this has been shot down by both sides of the aisle, going back more than 20 years.
